Chelsea hierarchy are concerned about Nagelsmann's age as they search for a new manager

After the dismissal of Graham Potter, Chelsea are searching for a new manager, but they have already raised concerns about Julian Nagelsmann, the former Bayern Munich boss

Chelsea are reportedly interested in hiring former

Bayern Munich

coach Julian Nagelsmann as their new manager following the departure of Graham Potter, but the club has concerns over his age.

Despite his impressive resume, having become the youngest head coach in Bundesliga history at Hoffenheim and leading RB Leipzig to the Champions League semi-finals, Nagelsmann is only 35 years old. Nonetheless, Nagelsmann is currently available after leaving Bayern and is considered a top target for the Chelsea job.

Chelsea

are planning to conduct interviews with at least five potential candidates for their vacant managerial position and are in no rush to make a decision. Among the contenders is former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, who has caught the attention of the club's owners with his credentials.

Less than seven months into his tenure, Potter was fired due to player discontent over his decisions and the team's lack of progress on the pitch. Some players lost respect for him to the extent that they allegedly mocked him with Harry Potter references.

Among the managers who have coached more than 20 games for Chelsea in the Premier League, Potter has the second-worst record in terms of points per game.

Chelsea will play their first game after the sacking of Potter on Tuesday against Liverpool in the Premier League, with Bruno Saltor serving as the interim head coach for the match.
